QUITE A DUEL.


About . o'clock yesterday morning, in
one Of the principal saloons Of this city,
" wild and woody looking species of
men, evidently Just off the range and
dlndt care who knew it, were socially
drinking together. and, in fact, having a
bully time. The only thing which seemed
to mar the harmony between the two was
when they got mixed up as to who paid
for the last drinks. Quickly each seemed
to think that he had paid for the last
round, and naturally expected the other
to pay for the next. AS both had BY this
time become slightly under the weather
and were not particularly choice in their
language, a quarrel soon ensued in which
each applied cognomens not compliment
tary in character to the other. At last
they agreed to fight it out, and were about
to take off their coats preparatory to
o%rnamenting one another with black eyes
and other beauty spots, when two by
ISLANDERS. who had meanwhile been con-
versing with each other, parted them and
each took one of them aside and talked
con6dentially for a few minutes. Shortly
afterward the difficulty was apparently
settled and all walked up to the bar and
smiled Finally two six-shootcrs were
produced. examined and loaded. By this
time he writer interest was aroused, as
it looked as though a duel was to be
fought.
The party of four then left the saloon
and walked some distance out of town,
followed by the writer, and a lone and
dreary spot where even a brave man
would hesitate to die was selected as the
battle ground. The writer looked on with
bated breath, anxiously waiting for the
fatal moment.
But things were not to be as at first
indicated.
A stick was set in the ground and the
hat Of one of the principals placed upon
it. The other stood off about twenty
PAGES and emptied the chambers of his
revolver in the direction of the head
cover, but without hitting it. He then
put his hat upon.the stick and the same
programme was followed by the other and
with the same result.
All parties thereupon became much dis
gusted, as the agreement was that the
poorest shot was to stand treat for the
whole party as long as they were in town,
and as neither had hit the hats and not
being able to locate the bullets, no decision
was made. The party then returned to
town thoroughly disappointed, but enter
ing their former resort they were soon on
the best Of terms.
When last seen each wanted to pay for
the first drinks, but settled the matter by
playing ''crack-a-loo."

QUIET HINT.
The United States Minister, Henry

10 the rescue. He called upon the
Presldent.of the Republic, and insisted
that the sums due to the contractors,
an amount sufficient TO pay the wages
due the men and their passage to
New Orleans, be supplied at once.
This suggestion was complied with Inn
msdiately. In addition 10 this prompt
compliance with the demand OF the
United States Minister, the President
informed Minister Hall that II would
be necessary for the government TO
rescind the contract for constructing
the railroad, but that II would be done
upon equitable terms. In the mean.
